Expert Reviews
Rich mulberry and raspberry fruit mingle with toasty cedarwood. Medium-bodied with a firm bed of fine-grained tannins, it delivers crunchy red fruits layered with savoury cardamom and coriander accents. As it evolves, more savoury notes of pine forest emerge, complemented by vanilla-laced cherry wood. The supple fruit is beautifully balanced by a well-integrated framework of acid tension, lending freshness and structure.
Named for the tractor acquired with the original property in 1973, Shafer's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon TD-9 blends fruit from the estate with purchased fruit to provide an entry-level Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 4% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot, aged in 100% new French oak, it does offer plenty of vanilla and spice shadings to balance the cherry fruit. Full-bodied and velvety-textured, it offers plenty of pleasure for what amounts to a fair price within the Napa scheme of things. With more than 10,000 cases produced, it should be widely available at steakhouses and retail.
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon TD-9 is a pretty wine. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit and sweet spice tones are nicely lifted. This is an especially delicate, aromatic Cabernet Sauvignon that shows the lighter structure of the year.
